"This is an interesting place" - said Meiru as she looked around the strange underwater vehicle.
"I know, I thought the same thing when I first entered, besides, it's much faster to travel than your ship made of sea oak" - replied Lyutillis as she walked towards a strange metal cube.
"What are you doing?" - Meiru asked curiously, as she was surprised to see that inside that bucket were hundreds of strange bottles with different coloured liquids - "What are those?"
"They're just ordinary juices" - Lyutillis replied as she rolled her eyes at her friend.
"Sorry for having my expectations high after seeing this strange place" - Meiru said as she gave her a blank look. She quickly pulled out a bottle and drank its contents, only to be surprised at how delicious it was - "Wow."
"You were saying?" - Lyutillis smiled proudly.
"These drinks are not yours, I don't understand why this stupid sense of pride you have" - Meiru said with a frown.
Cloud entered the room and saw the two women start talking again, so he didn't say anything to interrupt them.
"Hey, Cloud, what are we going to do now?" - Lyutillis asked as she stopped teasing her friend after watching the blond enter the place.
"It's simple, let's get ready, it's too much of a coincidence that both Shea and Belta-san have had visions or presentiments" - Cloud replied while closing his eyes - "That's why for now I want you to rest, and be ready to fight".
"Is it confirmed?" - Meiru asked with a frown as she checked her body and noticed that she still wasn't ready, even after almost completely absorbing the blond's blood.
"No, but as I said before, it's better to be safe than sorry," Cloud replied as he left the room.
"What are we going to do, Lyu-chan?" - Meiru asked seriously - "I can't just stand by and do nothing when we're about to face off against that son of a bitch's minions."
"Perhaps we could use the weapons inside the submarine to provide support" - Lyutillis replied as he nodded at this idea.
"Does this vehicle have weapons?" - Meiru asked in surprise - "Are you talking about cannons?"
"Yes, but these use magical ammunition" - replied Lyutillis as she looked at her friend - "Do you think you're ready for the return of the best gunner from the past?"
"Of course" - Meiru replied excitedly because she could feel her hands shaking. She was an expert in everything related to naval combat, that's why she was the most qualified to handle the magic cannons.
"Then let's go talk to Cloud," said Lyutillis as the two girls went to the blond, who was checking the submarine's security.
"Is everything alright, Cloud?" - Tio asked as she looked at the blond.
"Yes, everything is in perfect condition, now I can go rest in peace," sighed Cloud as he shook his head. The loss of blood and mana was affecting him more than it should, though nothing that a good rest couldn't fix - "Our submarine's defences are perfect and there's no place that isn't reinforced."
"Do you want me to do anything while you rest?" - Tio asked with concern as this was one of the few times she'd seen the blond being so tired.
"No, everything's ready, you better get some rest too" - smiled Cloud as he prepared to leave, when he saw the duo he had left behind coming in his direction.
"Cloud!" - Lyutillis exclaimed as she ran over to the blond.
"What's wrong?" - Cloud asked as he frowned because it was possible that something bad had happened for Lyutillis to show up so soon.
Lyutillis quickly explained the reason for her sudden appearance, something that left the blond thoughtful.
"Sure, I have no problem" - Cloud replied as he nodded - "You can ask Tio how to use the submarine's cannons, though it's not too complicated, so you don't have to worry."
"Ok, although I'd like to train a bit to make sure my aim remains as good as in the past," said Meiru seriously.
"Sure" - nodded Cloud before leaving the room.
The duo walked to Tio's, and saw how she was looking down at the surface of the water with a frown, at least until she sensed their presence - "Oh, it's you guys, do you need something from me?"
"Indeed" - Lyutillis replied as she explained the situation again.
"Umu, I see" - nodded Tio as she gestured for the duo to follow her.
The three women arrived at a strange seat that had some sort of glass displaying images of the outside.
"This is the sight screen, Cloud used some sort of image transmitter to be able to aim from the safety of the interior of the submarine" - said Tio as she explained as best she could what this strange device was.
"Interesting..." - muttered Meiru as she sat down in the comfortable seat and started to move the "knob" so that he could change the direction of the camera - "This is much easier than I thought it would be, even the display gives me information about wind, current speed and other factors that can make the direction of the shots vary..."
"Do you need any more information?" - Tio asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I would like to know all the qualities of the magic cannon" - Meiru answered seriously.
Tio nodded before searching the area until she found a small notebook and handed it to the Dagon-Vampire hybrid.
"Wow, this power, this variety of elemental ammunition, it even has cannonballs that our ancient magics use..." - Meiru muttered excitedly, because the more she read, the more amazing it all became, at least until she reached the end - "What is this?"
Tio looked at the notebook before falling silent because she didn't know what it was about either - "I'm sorry..."
"You don't know either?" - Meiru asked in surprise.
"No, although the connotation is clear with such a childish and simple name" - Tio replied as she looked at the bomb called the [Mata Ehit 666].
"That I can understand, the problem is that we don't know the range of the explosion, as to be able to use it if necessary" - Meiru said with a frown.
"I can ask Cloud about this information, though that will be after I finish resting" - replied Tio seriously.
"I understand" - nodded Meiru as she continued reading the information in the notebook.
* * * * *
"That was a well-deserved rest" - muttered Cloud, who felt as good as new after sleeping for a few hours. He quickly got up and went to his bathroom, only to see how Meiru was sleeping in the tub, which was full of water - ". . ."
"Hmm?" - Meiru slowly opened her eyes and saw Cloud with surprise - "You're awake already?"
"Yes, though I have many questions, the first being why you're in my bathtub..." - Cloud said as he gave her a blank stare.
"I'm sorry if my presence makes you uncomfortable, it's just that for some strange reason my body asked me to soak in normal water, and the other baths were being occupied" Meiru replied as she stood up.
Cloud gave her a glance and noticed how she was naked, something she didn't seem to remember, or just chose to ignore, so he did the same - "I see.... Anyway, please don't go in my bathroom again, your room has a bathtub too."
"No, it's a... What did Tio-san call it, a shower?" - Meiru replied as she tilted her head - "Sorry, I'm still a bit confused with so many new terms."
Cloud nodded calmly before washing his face and exiting the bathroom quietly.
Meiru stared at him the entire time before remembering the 'small' detail that she was naked, though it wasn't as if it bothered her after spending so much time with her subordinates, who were overwhelmingly male - "Honestly... this is a hard blow to my self-esteem as a woman..."
The Dagon-Vampire hybrid stepped out of the tub while shaking her head. She quickly grabbed this soft cloth to dry herself off and changed clothes before exiting the blond's room.
"What were you doing inside Cloud's room, Meiru-san?" - Shea asked in surprise as she saw the liberator come out of her boyfriend's room.
"I was sleeping" - Meiru replied honestly.
"Huh? Sleeping inside Cloud's room?" - Shea repeated, confused with this answer - "Huh?!"
"I think you're misunderstanding something" - said Meiru as she shook her head - "I wasn't sleeping with Cloud-san, I was sleeping in the tub in his bathroom."
"Bathtub? Bathroom?" - Shea repeated before letting out a sigh and shaking her head - "I better not ask anymore..."
Meiru shrugged as the two walked to the command room of the submarine.
"Where were you, Meiru-chan?" - Lyutillis asked, who had gone to her room to see her only to find that she was nowhere to be found.
"I was sleeping in Cloud's room" - said Meiru as she looked around with a small smile.
